Air Conditioning Servicing in Craig's End
Air conditioning servicing in Craig's End from an F-Gas certified company, with the manufacturer’s warranty terms explained on your quote. We reply to enquiries the same working day.
- Air conditioning that is not cooling as well as it did
- Noisy fans or rattling from the outdoor unit
- An unpleasant odour when the system runs
Before you call an engineer
For air conditioning, cleaning the indoor unit’s filters is the main job owners can do, if the manual says so. With the power off, they lift out, can be vacuumed or rinsed and must be fully dry before they go back. For a heat pump, the main owner jobs are a clear outdoor unit and sensible control settings.
Owners can handle the everyday basics: keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and clutter, check the settings and the remote, and follow the cleaning the manual describes. Opening up the units, the electrics and the refrigerant circuit are a job for us.
Air conditioning servicing in Craig's End, done properly
Servicing doesn’t mean topping up refrigerant. The refrigerant circuit is sealed, so a system that’s short of gas has a leak somewhere. If the performance checks point to a leak, we explain the options for finding and fixing it rather than just topping up. The work covers wall-mounted split systems, multi-split systems and ducted systems, and the jobs we see most are drips or damp patches below an indoor unit and weaker cooling than last year.
We plan the trip to Craig's End and can service more than one unit in one visit.
If a fault appears while the equipment is under the manufacturer’s warranty, tell us the make, model and installation date. We’ll explain how the manufacturer’s terms are likely to apply before anything chargeable is done.

Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly:
- Clean the filters between services, as the manual describes
- Close windows when the air conditioning is running
- Diary the next service before this one is forgotten
Where the system needs F-gas leak checks, the result is recorded and the next one falls due within 6 or 12 months, depending on the system. We can book it in ahead of time.
Book a service at least once a year, and more often if the system works hard or the rules require it.

What else we do in Craig's End
How it works
Each visit follows the same order: check the plan with you, put the dust sheets down, carry out the job, check the system and explain it all to you. On site, the work takes around an hour for one indoor and one outdoor unit, with extra time for each additional indoor unit. For a village like Craig's End, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- A date is fixed and the service price confirmed in advance.
- Before any cleaning, the system is run so we can see how it behaves.
- Then the cleaning: filters, coils, fan and the drain line.
- Electrical and refrigerant checks follow, including a leak check if the rules require one.
- It’s run once more to confirm all is well, and the record is left with you.
How to prepare
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
- Keep pets out of the rooms we’re working in

Photos are the fastest route to a quote: the room or the existing unit, the outside wall or roof where the outdoor unit sits or would go, and the label on any existing unit. Tell us the address and what you need, and simple jobs can often be priced without a visit.

Questions from Craig's End
Do you cover smaller places like Craig's End?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
How often should air conditioning in Craig's End be serviced?
For most homes, once a year. Check your manufacturer’s warranty terms too, as some of them make regular servicing a condition.
What accreditations do you have?
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company, with NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps. We’re also Checkatrade members.
Is an F-gas leak check a legal requirement for my system?
Under GOV.UK guidance, systems of 5 to under 50 tCO2e need a check at least every 12 months, and 50 to under 500 tCO2e every 6 months. Fitting leak detection lets you double the interval and we’ll confirm which band applies.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for breakdowns that cannot wait. Ring 07833 053749 any time and explain the problem.
Do you offer air conditioning maintenance contracts?
Yes. A contract sets out how often we visit and what each visit covers with the price fixed when you accept the quote. It suits anyone who would rather not track service dates.
How soon will you get back to me?
On the same working day you contact us. After that, we agree a survey, diagnosis or installation date that suits you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
For landlords and property managers
Records are where property maintenance often slips. Every visit is written up, plus the F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved, ready for a tenant, a buyer or an inspection.
Bigger systems bring extra duties: systems with an effective rated output over 12 kW need a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor at least every 5 years. We can arrange it, prepare the system for it and fix what it finds.
What a service looks like in Craig's End
On the National Heritage List, around 3 entries fall within 0.5 miles of the middle of Craig's End; Numbers 5 and 6 Levitt's Cottages (grade II) is one. For most visits that makes no difference. It only comes up when an outdoor unit has to be replaced on a protected building. About 86% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. Let us know where the outdoor unit sits and whether a ladder is needed to reach it.
Dust on the filters and coil makes the system work harder for the same result. Spring is a good time for a service, before the system is needed for cooling.
